Dear John!

 

ENERGY, MOTIVATION, HOPE AND INSPIRATION: This is how most participants
summed up the atmosphere at the Green Social Summit in Madrid last weekend.
From thought-provoking talks to engaging discussions, the Green gathering
was a testament to the energy and commitment that define the European Green
movement today.

 

This event confirmed that we’re more ready than ever to campaign for a
Europe where social justice, climate action and human rights come first. If
you couldn't join us, don't worry – you can catch all the talks and
panel discussions on YouTube. [3]

[4]

We hope you found the weekend as inspiring as we did, and that it motivates
you too to become part of our campaign. If you’re moved to act, we invite
you to sign up as a volunteer in our Green election campaign.
